Hat Tip to rayra at GCP

There is every Democrat talking point and deranged opinion out of this psycho in this clip. Holy shit, I’m waiting for that POS Cindy Sheehan to make a guest appearance next.

Anyone looking forward to being slaves to ‘people’ like this?

House of Representatives Votes to Defund ACORN

Great. Now where will pimps and whores go to get advice on tax evasion?

 

The House voted Thursday to deny all federal funds for ACORN in a GOP-led strike against the scandal-tainted community organizing group that comes just three days after the Senate took similar action. “ACORN has violated serious federal laws, and today the House voted to ensure that taxpayer dollars would no longer be used to fund this corrupt organization,” said second-ranked House Republican Eric Cantor of Virginia.

The vote, on a provision attached to a student aid bill, was 345-75, with Democrats supplying all the “no” votes.

On Monday the Senate voted 83-7 to deny housing and community grant funding to ACORN, which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

Republicans accelerated their attacks on the liberal-leaning group a year ago when ACORN, in conducting a massive voter registration drive, was accused of submitting some false registration forms.

On a hidden-camera video released on Monday, two ACORN employees are seen apparently advising a couple that was posing as a prostitute and her pimp to lie about her profession and launder her earnings. The video was the latest in a series that has already led to the firing of four ACORN employees in Baltimore and Washington. It was created by James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles and posted on BigGovernment.com, where O’Keefe identifies himself as an activist filmmaker.

 

It’s telling that, even after ACORN got caught helping what they thought was a pimp and a prostitute cheat on taxes, 75 Democrats STILL voted against defunding the group. 75 Democrats think it’s perfectly alright for a group that essentially got caught in conspiracy to commit a federal felony to receive taxpayer funds. There’s something seriously, seriously wrong with the Democrat Party.

 

It should be interesting to see what the President does with this, since he was the one who resisted calls to remove ACORN funding from Porkulus earlier this year. The House and the Senate both have more than enough votes to override a veto. Obama surely won’t be so stupid as to set himself up for a crushing political defeat over something so ridiculous as a “community organizing” group, will he?

Baton Rouge Police Threaten To Arrest Obama Critics

Ok, so the title is a bit sensational. It doesn’t change what is happening.

From Right Soup:

This is a trend we are seeing more and more as protesters become active and vocal against Obama’s policies. Wednesday, Baton Rouge, Louisiana police threaten to arrest anti-Obama people, who just wanted to TALK to people at a town hall about the downside of Obamacare. But because the ACORN Community Organizers don’t like different points of view, and Louisiana is home to the SEIU, ACORN, and it’s alphabet soup of branches, they push the police into saying “STFU, Patriots. You may not speak to the worshipers.”

Here we go.

Some are more equal than others.

ACORN… A Criminal Organization of Rogue Nimcompoops!

I may be just a little jaded when it comes to anything ACORN, however, I get this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when I hear that the Census Bureau has partnered with ACORN to do our head count. The Census Bureau will not partner with police and several other groups but ACORN is acceptable. This had me screaming at the television. Once I settled myself, I went straight for my computer and started emailing all of my state reps. I started at the local level and emailed all the way to the U.S. Congress. Please join me in asking that our representatives use whatever pressure they have to force an end to the relationship between the Census Bureau and ACORN. Don’t let them get by with it!

This isn’t breaking news, but please don’t let it become forgotten news and remember only after it is too late!

From JudicialWatch:

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the U.S. Census Bureau detailing the substantial involvement of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) in the 2010 Census. Included among the 126 pages of documents, obtained by Judicial Watch under threat of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, is ACORN’s original Census partnership application. The document describes 18 different areas of responsibility requested by the community organization, which is under investigation in multiple states for illegal activity during the 2008 election, including voter registration fraud.

Don’t just sit there… DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! We have to show them how we feel!
